Destin Florida is world famous for charter fishing.  In fact, Destin boasts the largest fishing fleet in Florida and is often referred to as the  Worlds Luckiest Fishing Village partly because of its premier deep sea fishing, offshore sport fishing and fabulous inshore and bay fishing. So much so, that it's famous for the Anual October Destin Fishing Rodeo (tournaments).  Truly, "fishing" is synonymous with Destin.

 

If you come to Destin—take a day and do yourself a favor—experience what all the "awe" is about! 

 

If you check online—you will certainly discover tons of Destin charter fishing sites but what long time visitors know—insider secret—is Captain Billy is the ticket from okay to fabulous! 

 

Another secret--you won't be able to just wing it and show up in the high season and expect to find Capt. Billy around beause he'll  be out fishing!

 

Long time area residents know Billy, he has lived in the area for 50 years (giving away his age) and lots of seafood restaurants have old pictures of Billy on the wall. . . he will tell you all the tales of before the Destin bridge was here—how they got to and from the island—and when there wasn't US 98—just a shell road. . .  captivating stories and his  knowledge of fishing and the local area is memorable.

 

When you go out with Billy, you may catch a glimpse of him covertly looking into his "little black book" with all the bearings of local ship wrecks, etc.  The pictures posted on this page are actual photos from one of his fishing adventures.
